WASHINGTON—The Biden administration on Wednesday imposed visa bans on former Ecuadorian President Rafael Correa, his vice president, and their immediate families for corruption.

The State Department announced that Correa and his one-time deputy Jorge Glas would no longer be eligible to enter the United States. The ban also applies to their spouses and children.
